Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

As previously mentioned, Hodgson is a stop-gap solution. Much rather use the cap towards players who will help us in the long-term.

I don't think we've got a shot at Grant with the new team almost certainly getting one of Smith or Grant and Melbourne retaining the other.

Lomax on the other hand - absolutely yes. The injuries are an issue but they largely seem unrelated - hopefully he can overcome them and deliver on his potential.

With that said, come November 1, Manu has to be the main target. I would love him in the 4 but playing as a 2nd fullback/five-eighth when we're in attacking zones. Extremely class player and would work well with Doueihi's running game.

Throw the kitchen sink at both Lomax and Harry Grant to be the future of this club. Be aggressive and make them both our targets and offer them as much as we can, both reportedly keen admirers of Madge and the Wests Tigers (bringing one could attract the other to come) - alongside Laurie, Doueihi, Stefano, Blore, Luciano and Twal with some good pieces like Ken, Joffa, Talau, Nofa and Mikale

Bring in some nice young forwards, I’d like to look at Spencer Lenui, Helem Luki and Franklin Pele.

Then get Brooks out, put that 700-800k towards a good halfback that comes available and all of a sudden we’re a threat for the next decade as they’re all young - think the biggest question mark circulating around our whole squad is who wears 7 bc Hastings hasn’t proven anything yet

Couldn't agree more. Lomax and Grant would be perfect for this team and our future. The fact that there's even the slightest chance is exciting. I guess now we just wait and see... and pray...

2 or 3 good players alone can not get us out of this hole, we need to have a Team of more than half capable players, right now we dont

We will be back at the same old days, where we had Teddy and a couple of good players but kept losing games

Fact is we need 17 for game day, at least 10 of them have to be legit First graders hungry to win, the rest will follow the lead

No one wants to keep playing for a losing team, we have a lot of work to do

Like the enthusiasm, but the club just can’t get Brooks out, without probably paying a fair chunk of his salary?

So not sure if we have that much cash? Especially after Lomax and Grant were signed?

Surely this new contract is a good deal for the 3. No doubt Helensburgh are pretty disappointed as they didn't get the chance to play their finals last year. That was a great achievement for the club and too everyone involved.

Crap photoshop eh
3 diffewrent shorts,,,different jerseys

Exciting news tho

Schweeet
Lomax to follow

Lol it’s his gf guys. Doesn’t mean he is signing too lol

People will latch on to anything.

And some will be miserable and complain about everything.

That's life.


Man you need to harden up

Good advice... ?
Better suited elsewhere.

Self reflection.

I’m always self reflecting. As for you fog horn, as opposed to someone like the Pom who comes in gives his info, answers a few questions and disappears without any fuss, you seem to come from the SG school of scoops where you want the admiration that comes with providing the scoops and making an enemies list of all of your doubters to give them a shout out if you are proven right, even though to this point, none of them have come to fruition. I apologise if i take a more skeptical view of inside scoops from someone with no track record. This is the internet after all. Only a fool would believe everything they read.

Lighten up Mary
You might enjoy life more !

Sorry mate. Really struggling mentally atm. Think I need to step back for a bit.

Sorry everyone

You often post in a forthright manner, but did seem on the edge or over it of late, so be sure to look after yourself.

It takes the better man to admit wrong or that they were acting like a dick, so thanks for setting that example as well.

Don't know any of their faces and feel a little bad saying this, but apart from just being photo shopped, I truly thought it was a fake with a guy's face placed on the middle one.

Looks like a dude minus an Adam's apple to me.

You sound upset because you were the first time to sulk and claim its garbage but when the mods back it up you're taking aim...

Childish really but expected.

He’s so salty he doesn’t get inside information. When the boys club post inside information that doesn’t come through it’s all hush hush. They bullied SG out of the forum, stay strong demps. Love your inside info and crazy conspiracies, keeps this place entertaining.

Hope your doing well forum friend!
We can argue and provoke and act like dicks ourselves even when we might be right, times have been tough for everyone, league fans or not, be kind and remember we all have something in common.


We are Black White and Gold.

LOL, back in the day there was a free to air channel on Channel 10s spin off sports channel One HD.

He was one of the guys gifted the host job for their footy show.
He came across very arrogant and try hard-ish, in my opinion.
Argumentative but quite a fence sitter.

Been in the game for 30 odd years.
Just another pest.

OneHD was awesome back in the day with TNA wrestling at 9pm and round the clock sport now ots re runs of SVU and ncis

Never forgot they hosted a free big UFC main event

Cain Velasquez vs Noguira
Then some other cards like Bones Vs Vera

Was a banger channel
@JC99 told me they stream live Bellator events on their app/site for anyone interested.

Spoiled for choice on Fox league nowadays tho.
 
Bellator is pretty great alot of the former ufc guys are there like vitor, yoel romero , Ryan bader and Benson Henderson with some up and coming guys who are machines in their own right like Patricio pit bull, Micheal venom page and AJ mckean definitely worth checking out
